Bosch Rexroth Delivers Drive And Control solution To GustoMSC

Bosch Rexroth Delivers Drive And Control solution To GustoMSC   
Bosch Rexroth  recently got a order from  GustoMSC to manufacture the drive and control system for GustoMSC's most recent model in its successful series of continuous jacking systems. The continuous jacking system (CJS) is based on innovative lifting functions, in which 48  hydraulic cylinders  directed by a digital control work together seamlessly. Sensors and displacement sensor systems provide feedback for the complex cylinder movements. The CJS lifts the vessel out of the water in one fluid motion, turning it into a stable offshore "construction platform.    
Total of 32 hydraulic lifting cylinders are active during the jacking up movement. There are another 16 cylinders for moving the anchoring pins, while the jacking system consists of valve blocks, the control system and specially designed software. Testing and commissioning takes place on site by GustoMSC in collaboration with Bosch Rexroth in Japan.  Bosch Rexroth applies different Enduroq surface-protective techniques such as HVOF coatings, stainless steel welding and laser cladding. The hydraulic control of the CJS is provided by a power unit from a Bosch Rexroth Modular Hydraulic Power Unit (MHPU) introduced at the end of 2016 and specifically designed for the Marine & Offshore m
